"Far Cry 4 Achieves 60fps on PS5"

Eleven years after its debut, Far Cry 4 now runs at a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) on the PlayStation 5, thanks to the Version 1.08 update, as discovered by user gael_74 and shared on the Far Cry 4 subreddit. This enhancement makes it the perfect time for newcomers to dive into the game, which boasts one of the series' most memorable villains, Pagan Min, set against the stunning backdrop of the Himalayas. The vertical terrain isn't just visually appealing but serves as an interactive playground that invites players to engage in combat, hunt, and explore.

IGN's review praised Far Cry 4 with a "great" score of 8.5/10, noting that while the characters may be lacking, the game excels in its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer modes, offering players a delightful sense of freedom.
